(though I don't think they'll all fit in the boot, and I'll have a passenger before anyone suggests taking the roof out :P also I'll be back in Cheltenham later that evening for a saber combat class. Yup, total geek, me :th: )

Good stuff

No, unless it doesn't rain tomorrow and overnight and the roads have a chance to dry out. Round our way there is standing water everywhere. A couple of roads I used earlier this afternoon were flooded over 6" deep.

This run was a year and a day previously (16/02/2014).

It doesnt mean that at all bud, it means that you've driven your car in the winter. Lol. Don't worry about it. Mine will be cleaned tomorrow, but I'm not going mad as within 5 miles it will have gone from white to a grey colour (having said that it's better than the brown it is at the moment - Norfolk roads yesterday to thank for that).

I think the councils have over ordered salt/grit as the idiots are spreading the muck like it's going out of fashion around here.

Looks like there won't be any overnight rain in the South East. :th:

As for Sunday, this is pretty close to Barrow Wake.

Looks like we will be there at the right time. :)

Is there a speed hump going into the parking area? Google maps seemed to suggest so on street view? My car doesn't like anything with speed humps :sad:

Fairly sure that's a yes (unless it has been removed since the Google car was there in 2010).
Unfortunately it didn't venture into the car park and the image resolution isn't that great.
So it's hard to tell just how severe it is. Doesn't look too bad but it depends on the curvature.
